Cook County Sheriff James O'Grady on Saturday pressed for the firing of two of his officers as a newspaper reported allegations that the department had suppressed investigations of mob murders and internal corruption for years. The two officers, who are accused of robbing a drug dealer, were suspended Friday after reporters sought comment from O'Grady for an article on the alleged corruption published in early Sunday editions of the Chicago Tribune.
